Taylor's Forged Frame Navy is finally in stock

[Cimarron Lawman]

Taylor's forged frame Remington Navy has finally arrived. I called today and was told they are in. The forged frame Army has been available for some time, but the .36 lagged behind. At last, Uberti sent them a shipment. I ordered mine today.

According to Taylor's, the frames are the same size.

Some people have noted on other forums, and they are correct, that Uberti has changed their grip shape. The grip on their older cast frame guns is different from that of the forged frame guns. The newer grip shape more closely resembles the original, and I think it feels better (I handled one in a local store).

So you're going to buy it and give a full report with pics...right?

Buy two...no, no three.

I think you posted this before, but what is the advantage of the Forged Frame?  Is it stronger?

Forging is the term for shaping metal by using localized compressive forces. Cold forging is done at room temperature or near room temperature. Hot forging is done at a high temperature, which makes metal easier to shape and less likely to fracture. Warm forging is done at intermediate temperature between room temperature and hot forging temperatures. Forged parts can range in size from 2 cm to 170 metric tons. Forged parts usually require further processing to achieve a finished part.

Casting is a manufacturing process by which a liquid material such as a suspension of minerals as used in ceramics or molten metal or plastic is introduced into a mould, allowed to solidify within the mould, and then ejected or broken out to make a fabricated part. Casting is used for making parts of complex shape that would be difficult or uneconomical to make by other methods, such as cutting from solid material.

Casting may be used to form hot, liquid metals or meltable plastics (called thermoplastics), or various materials that cold set after mixing of components such as certain plastic resins such as epoxy, water setting materials such as concrete or plaster, and materials that become liquid or paste when moist such as clay, which when dry enough to be rigid is removed from the mold, further dried, and fired in a kiln or furnace.

Substitution is always a factor in deciding whether other techniques should be used instead of casting. Alternatives include parts that can be stamped out on a punch press or deep-drawn, forged, items that can be manufactured by extrusion or by cold-bending, and parts that can be made from highly active metals.

The casting process is subdivided into two distinct subgroups: expendable and nonexpendable mold casting

Good deal!  I've got two conversion cylinder that need homes and now they are finally available.

May I ask what the "ballpark" price is on the new forged-frame Remington NMA?  I'd like to get one.
